Rubean AG, a Munich-based fintech company specializing in software point-of-sale (SoftPOS) solutions, has announced a new leadership structure effective July 1, 2026. Stephan Kuck, formerly CEO of Computop Paygate GmbH, joins Jochen Pielage as Co-CEO, with a focus on overseeing sales and revenue growth. The company aims to leverage its market leadership in Germany and Spain to expand further into Europe and the Americas.
Rubean's SoftPOS technology replaces traditional card readers with a software app, enabling retailers, food service providers, delivery services, and other businesses to accept cashless and mobile payments without additional hardware. The company has already established a strong presence in Germany and Spain and has successfully entered markets in Switzerland, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and parts of North and South America, supported by major banks and payment service providers.
"I'm looking forward to working together and, above all, to Rubean now being able to better capitalize on its enormous opportunities in the market," said Pielage. Kuck added, "I know the company very well from the long-standing collaboration between Computop and Rubean, and I'm looking forward to further expanding the already significant growth."
Former Chief Sales Officer Dr. Hermann Geupel will remain with the company as Sales Director for the DACH region. Rubean plans to further expand its sales operations and strengthen existing partnerships. To finance these efforts, the company is considering capital measures.
Rubean AG, listed on m:access and over-the-counter venues, is known for its PhonePOS solution, the only SoftPOS solution supporting girocard (EC card) in large-scale deployments in Germany. More information is available at www.rubean.com.
The appointment of Kuck signals Rubean's intent to accelerate growth and capture a larger share of the SoftPOS market, which is expected to expand as businesses increasingly seek cost-effective, hardware-free payment solutions.
